Good move since you don't need it anymore. I guess anyone that eventually gets it comes back to give testimonies.

ijaola: Same thing happened to me. Iwas told to pay 25500naira and get the new modem. I was told to do so btw sept 30& oct2. I neva even see 8500 pay, na 25500 na him i go see pay. i bought the modem for 15k, works only in lagos, whenever i traveled, i can't use it.

They even wanna force it on there existing subscriber, i am planing on traveling outta lagos for a month, how will i pay for what i won't be able to use.

I wonder why this hasn't make it to the front page yet.

will fix that soon. Sent a link to the mod

[quote author=tpia@]Wow some people are messed up.

So because a child is counting from 1 to 100, that also means he or she must be able to count 1 to 50 backwards?

I am now beginning to understand the high level of functioning illiterates on nairaland![/quote]shows how deluded you can be sometimes. You should state your points instead of resorting to abuses and such. Asking a kid to read in reverse is to test their skills and see if they are just cramming or actually studying.

I guess this needs to reach fp. It seems bad mouthing is what most Nigerian ccompanies now know. Just imagine

They are over burdening the child. Don't be suprised most of what they teach these kids is route memorization and nothing else. A kid that can read from 1 to 100 would fail if you ask him to read just 50 to 1 backwards. Also most of then know 20 times 20 but just place three cups on one side of the table and another on the other side and ask them whats the total and see how dumb founded these kids would be.

I was expecting the fedex logo....And you did justice to that.

beau49: Hello house....PLS I NEED UR HELP! M currently doin a course n my instructor installed my course notes on my system buh wen I tried 2 openin it nuttin happened....can sum1 pls hlp cus I need read 4 my up comin test.

Wud really appreciate it if I can get a reply.

what software or what package. Give more details.

all4naija: As long as it is compatible with the HARDWARE Identification it will work. Excepting there is no existing VGA driver for the chipset.

I know that quite well. What i was trying to insinuate up there was that direct download and installation won't work because of compatibility issues. He tried downloading the driver directly and upon installation it will always give you that operating system not supported even if you use the backward compatibility feature on win 7. The way to go is to use other methods. But anyways i guess he has resolved it.

afegbua: i tried that before..i unistalled the vga driver and the display went very big as if the screen was too small..i instaled the one i downloaded and it told me that my computer cannot work with it and then the installer was exitted automatically...i had to do a system restore for it to return to its normal display size...i have deleted the driver i downloaded since its not compatible
i even tried to tweak it like u told me to do but it said a driver was not found in he computer even after i narroed the browse down to my desktop where i extracted the driver to.

pls could u gime a link to get the driver that will work for it so i can try again? i tink all dis problem is comin cos the default windows is XP before i installed windows 7 or maybe the system VGA for windows 7 is not yet available.
thanks.

[quote author=nadia_SA]@bolded that's y its very hard for people to tell that I'm not happy coz of this face I try to put up for everyone, hoping that one day things will change for the better..

But its not I don't understand y this is happening to me ..

I hear u..[/quote]Living in denial of what life really is ain't too good. It makes life superficial .I am not saying you shouldn't pose as happy to everyone but seriously sometimes we all need someone we can share our "little" problems with. Hiding behind a beautiful smile will not make it go away. Also do remember the down trodden. Your problems ain't small nor is it too big but always look for positives in any situation.

all4naija: 1. First and foremost, right-click on your 'Computer' at your desktop and click 'Manage'.

2. At 'Compute Management' click on 'Device Manager' and look to the right-hand side of the dialogue for 'Display Adapter', right-click on the file with yellow indicator and click 'Properties'.

3. On next dialogue click 'Details' tab. Under 'Property' select 'Hardware IDs' and right-click on the first list under 'Value' and click copy. Paste it into Google search to search for your particular driver.

4. Download the driver and install it.

If you have any question,please, post it here.

it won't work.. The vga card is not supported by windows 7 and intel never made a windows 7 driver for it. Even if he stop it in compatibility mode it won't install naturally except he extracts and locates the driver from there. Which he has done.

Feels like nothing is going well with me..
I've messed up at young age I've really tried making things better but it seems like I'm just making things worse..I don't no how I do it but sumtyms I feel like I'm cursed..

Suicide has crossed my mind alota times, sometimes I wish that a car could come from nowhere nd take my life..
[/quote]Nadia... Not you! You are more lively and definitely above those thoughts. Please put the thoughts of suicide aside. It doesn't make things better, it just makes it worse. We all have made mistakes in the past and if everyone were to commit suicide for their past mistakes i doubt any one would be alive on earth presently. Be strong. There's light at the end of the tunnel. Its always easy to destroy but hard to rebuild. Your rebuilding process would take alot of perseverance and hard work. It won't just happen. This is about correcting mistakes of years and trust me there's no short cut or quick fixes in such situations. If you would love to elaborate so we can better appreciate the challenges you face and can render help in form of words and encouragement. Its well with you.

afegbua: Ok thanks

first uninstal that standard vga adapter. Next click on the video controller and install that driver you downloaded earlier using the method of accessing the folder you extracted to. Your vga driver is not installed . Its just the system default that is there.

maclatunji: Tbaba supports the Information Technology approach, so we are making progress. What other tools would we need to make it a success? Let's put heads together, this is becoming more interesting.

I smell sarcasm. ... ;-)


@sissie
Thats very commendable. Jazakum.

maclatunji: It is better to do your best and leave the rest. As long as the majority are becoming better, there is little point to beat yourself to stupor over a few individuals.

It is something you can't eradicate no matter how concerned you are.

few individuals you say? Maybe you should know that this is becoming more common. Even if they are not marrying non muslims they are lamenting the fact that there are no muslims coming after them. What do you think? Should this be left to the "to each his own" treatment? Or should we be looking at facilitating something that can intervene?


As for me, the little i could do is to work on developing a localised muslim dating site or app. I would leave the rudimentary to others if they are willing to take it from there. I understand mac that we can't solve all the world's problem but we shouldn't also sit when we can make an appreciable effort.

joywendy: please how do i delete a trend. am still a new bie i need help. plssssssssss

click on modify and clear all you typed. Change the topic and type just a dot.

beecool: @RR, I think I read the part 1 of this thread some times ago. I would go through the pages of this thread as suggested. About the family fun thread, I've bee following that silently.
@Onegig, I find it difficult to share my life and family issues on a public forum like this.
Perhaps, I am just being too sensitive about it.
@ Bellong, i have been trying, it's just that the whole thing is so depressing.
Thank you all for your words of courage. Thank you.

Its a faceless forum and you don't have to give personal details and such. Although you are entitled to your privacy but just hints on what you feel would make helping easier. We don't know you and can't imagine what you are going through except you tell us.

joywendy: i like dis post,but afta readin dis i realize i dnt really have true frds

afegbua: Okay, here it is..the first one is the device manager page and the video controller details......while the second one is the propertis of the VGA graphics adapter

ok. will give you a link before evening.

maclatunji: She did not have to wait but if you are looking for "Mr. Perfect", you should be willing to pay the price, don't blame that on Islam.

This is my main point.

There is a word called "sacrifice". Each individual should define what they are willing to sacrifice. Those that marry Non-Muslims have decided to sacrifice Islam and I blame that on a lack of proper faith in our religion.

The lady in my example sacrificed time, others may sacrifice wealth, others handsomeness, others family prestige, others their pride.

The question we should all answer is: "what are you willing to sacrifice to get a spouse?"

I can sacrifice my ambition but I have not met/discovered a lady that is worth that sacrifice yet.

I know people have to sacrifice but please lets be realistic and try be in the shoes of these ladies. We all know the temptation, pressure the society puts in their path. Islam encourages early marriage , so sacrificing time shouldn't be a criteria. Also we do all our levels of resistance and endurance. The question is since we know all these problems do we let them pass through all these torments and added challenges just to show how strong their faith is? Why can't the society address the anomaly. Its not something that hard. It's just about facilitating an halal avenue for these muslims to meet.

Its easy for you to wait. ..you are a guy. You have control over your waiting period, but these ladies most times don't have control over this as they have to wait for a man to come knocking on their doors.

Niranking: pls bro,i'm using hp x2 mini laptop,i used it well b4 i swith it off,so abt to on it again it not showing jst d indicator light frm cap lock and small button around del side was blinking, pls help me out.thks

how many blinks?

beecool: how do i fight this feeling of emptiness that seems to be invading my mind. Don't tell me to hold on, because I just can't anymore. I feel like I'm at the point where I have to end it all.

maybe you start by talking about things that make you feel empty. We can take it onwards from there.

maclatunji: In the end, it all still boils down to faith. Is there anything that prevents a lady from waiting until she finds her ideal man within Islam? It would be weaknesses in faith.

I know someone that waited, waited and waited until someone she wanted arrived. She did not go marry a "John" or "David".

We Muslims need to focus on the basics of our religion.

we do agree they shouldn't compromise on their religion . But do we allow them go through that 'torment' by waiting till eternity?

maclatunji: Trust me, that society can do much better starting with making salat compulsory for its weekly programme. What is the use of gathering people in the name of Islam every week when a large chunk don't pray subhi and won't pray Zuhr either? Yet, they feel satisfied that they are sincere Muslims.

It is so simple. Just ask people: did you observe salat before coming? You should observe salat before leaving.

It is highly dangerous that we have massive numbers of Muslims that fall into this kind of trap. You find many youths looking for lovers within such gatherings and other things that are detrimental.

Attract people to Islam, yes but don't lose your values and identity in the process.

Personally, if you see me on the street and don't know me, you might not know my religion. It is deliberate, I want people to be able to relate with me without bias. It is when people ask for my name or see me do certain things that they go like- he is a Muslim!

My point is: I support opening to Muslims who might not be active or even Non-Muslims but don't let us lose our basic principles in the process.

i do agree with these. Most times the leaders of such congregations turn a blind eye to these basic things and harp on the asalatu part as if it supercedes solat and so on.

runzlord: the errow i get is 'you dont have permission to view this' i can only play music and view pictures. I can view my documents but i cant open them cos the apps dont run.

right click on the local disk c and select properties. Under permissions tick allow editing and other features.

maclatunji: However, if you select mass marketing, you might end up with people who are neither here nor there. There is a very popular Muslim society that has this problem.

This is the problem. We criticize just for the sake of it. No human endeavour is perfect. Although this society you are refering to have tried their best in allowing the environment for such interactions instead of sitting on the fence and allowing things degenerate. Although i believe there's need for more realignment and improvement but atleast we need to give them kudos for doing something about the status quo. Also mind you ,the organisation can't be solely blamed for ills you might see but the intentions of some of their members. You can take a horse to the river , you can't force it to drink from it.

Also i guess the ladies should start forgetting this old schooled ideals of waiting for a man to ask you out. If none is forthcoming and you find a man worthy why not take your destiny into your hands and do the asking ? Does it change anything who asked who out? It doesn't mean you are desperate. It means you value your happiness and is willing to take steps to achieve it.
